I mean he’s not wrong about the former, but he can fuck off about the latter.

Johhny Silverhand tried and look where that got him.

• Japan.
• JPY 980 per month.
• Plan includes up to 3GB per month 4g/5g data, and when going over 3GB, the data cap increases to 20GB for an additional JPY 1000. Unlimited voice and text, global roaming to 90 countries included.

Still don’t get bars inside some big buildings though :p

I’ve been struggling with the same kind of themes and wanted to share my experience.

Dreams have been bittersweet. On one hand dreams feel light as air and carefree to see myself as femme. On the other hand waking up puts me in a bad dysphoric mood the whole day.

Not woman enough. I’ve been taking a guerrilla war approach to this one because trying to do it all at once is overwhelming, and the key has been celebrating small victories. Laser hair removal takes time, but every little bit is an incremental victory. My nail painting skills are still trash, but as a result of getting some proper tools and cuticle oil I’m taking better care of them they are stronger and healthier. This theme also reminds me of the pressure others put on us to “prove it,” and that we put on ourselves to conform to some type of gender ideal. See The Null HypotheCis for more.

Too late. Yes it would have been nice to figure this out years ago. But wouldn’t it be better to live authentically, given that Now is all we have?

And… I love your username. Toughest Starfleet captain, model main character, and a picture of femininity.

Same. Joined at the Digg migration. Left at the 3rd party App-ocolypse. Reddit is dead. Or perhaps it’s more accurate to say that it’s a zombie: with more bots than actual human users, it’s the Dead Internet Theory in action.

I’m more impressed that they can use a gamepad for CLI input.

You’re suggesting I should follow the yellow brick road to find the Wizard of iOT?

Bricking hardware is a form of enrichment for me.

Spent about the past 2 months going, uh this egg isn’t broken, it’s uh… Meanwhile getting yolk and broken shell all over. Coming out of the shell is not a linear process.

On the plus side, I went to Pride House for the first time and met some cool and kind folks. It was nice to be Out for the first time.

OK hear me out: It should be named after the first European explorer to discover it and popularize the European expansion: Christopher Columbus.

• Like its namesake, the nation too is racist, cruel and genocidal. Even the Spanish Inquisition era Catholics were like, damn Christopher!
• Like the largest exporter of cocaíne in South America, it too is full of drugs, and its elections are the plaything of big money cartels and foreign powers.
• It was mostly settled by white people from England.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give to you your new nation: British Columbia.

“Bottom - detected”

Ok I will admit AI is good for some things.

It evokes a Devil May Care attitude towards risk and danger.

Edit: also… this

Why stop there? Girlnemesis. Girlcomrade. Girlally. Girlchampion. Girlquaintance. Girlconfidante. Girlboss. Girllisteningear. Girlgirlfriend.

It’s hard to write a comment, but so far 11 people have upvoted, so just think there are 11 people seeing you and giving you a hug.

Stay safe, friend.

David Attenborough voiceover

“Americans, like the common clownfish and some species of frogs, can change sex. While these other animals do so during times of environmental stress or population imbalance, Americans can do so via a strange, opaque process called, “The Executive Order.” Unlike their aquatic peers who change on an individual basis, the entire population of Americans changes all at once. This behavior is otherwise unknown in the animal kingdom, and it is unclear what evolutionary advantage this offers, if any.”

In retrospect, it’s funny to me now that I was feeling afraid and sick to my stomach to the point of shaking and nearly throwing up, and their response was just so relaxed and cool. I asked if they weren’t surprised and the answer was no.

Like… WHO AM I FOOLING? ONLY MYSELF? DID EVERYONE ELSE GET THE MEMO FIRST?

Ugh, same. Can’t bear to think how many people I must have alienated or hurt with such behavior. I suppose there’s nothing to be done about the past, but listen to its lessons to be better, kinder me in the future.

I came out to the one person that matters most, and everything was OK. Like better than OK. What was the point of all that internal torture I put myself through? Finally feel like I can breathe again.

Still think the gods are having a huge laugh at my expense over the timing though.
